To My 3rd Party Voting Friends - Vote Hillary!

So, basically, you’re saying “A Trump Presidency is okay with me.”  Because one of two people is going to win this election: Hillary or Trump.  One of those two, nobody else.  And even if Trump wins BY 1 VOTE, he still takes ALL this state’s electoral votes.  Which is NOT okay.  But here’s 4 GREAT REASONS to vote for Hillary:

1. Hillary believes that climate change is real and will work urgently to stop and reverse it rather than hand our children a ruined ecosphere.
2. Hillary believes that we deserve a good national healthcare system (ACA) and will work to improve it rather than dismantle it.
3. Hillary believes in a strong fully funded Social Security system, rather than one given to Wall Street to gamble with.
4. Hillary believes that corporations are NOT people, and will appoint Supreme Court justices that will overturn Citizen’s United.

There are dozens of other great reasons to support Hillary for the Presidency, but if none of them matter to you (and if it doesn’t matter to you who Bernie Sanders is supporting), then by all means, cast your vote for someone else and help Trump win.  Even if it’s only by 1 VOTE.  But I HOPE that you’ll join me and vote for HILLARY.  Please.

Your Puritanical "Principles", More Important that the Planet?

I keep seeing posts from some of you liberals, progressives, lefties out there, trying to convince yourselves and your friends that because of some vague atrocity supposedly committed by Hillary Clinton, your principals prevent you from voting for her, so you're going to vote third party in vane.

Make no mistake it IS your vote to cast as you see fit. But if you believe that this election is about You and Your Principles you are most sadly mistaken. You are engaged in a Narcissism of Truly Trumpian proportions.

This election is about your family, your friends, your community, your country and your planet. But mostly, this election is about your children and the children of all those that surround you.

There are many issues in the balance, but I'll pick just one to be brief, the most critical one, Climate Change. Trumpenstein will destroy any efforts to stem the tide of global warming and it's getting late people, closing in on too late for our children's future. The fate of the planet literally hangs in the balance. 2016 was the first year ever that atmospheric carbon dioxide didn't fall below 400 ppm in the month of September. And if the methane frozen in the arctic and beneath the oceans starts to thaw, it's game over, welcome to Venus II, may you and your "principles" enjoy your brief stay.

So ask yourself, do you really think that your Puritanical "Principles" are more important than our Planet? Because that, my friends, would display an outlook of asstounding self-centrism and heedless inconsideration. We're all depending on you being better than that.
